Anyone take a gap year before going to university? Trying to convince my daughter that it is a great idea. I didn't, but didn't even know that was an option at the time. The hard societal push to college is just disturbing and I want her to see the world a little bit before deciding what to do with her life.

@daniel YES to this. I never did, but sometimes wish I had. Any time I come across someone who's unsure about whether to go to university or not, I always advise them to wait. Go try something else. Find a job and give it a go. Get on a plane and leave the country for a year. The options are endless. What's the worst that can happen?
